I had the problem with steering wheel shaking at about70mph and finally found the issue. I had a wheel alignment and tire balance. Then recently found out I had a bent rim in one of my front tires. I bought my rims off Craigslist so now I'm just buy a replacement per rim for my 2011 Mustang. I switched that front rim to the back away from my sensors which kept going off because of the tire shake. And now it's not even noticeable. Since I put the tire in the rear. But I will still replace the wheel. The shaking had dropped several weights on my wheel balance and I redid the wheel balance. Now it is beast. Check your tires and rims too people

Thank you. And oh no, I fixed it. The main reason why the car shakes at the first place is the front wheels and tires. They were getting old and stuff, so they don't spin nicely which causes vibration. And that causes other part to fail also such as inner- tie-rods. . See: Lancer Fix | Shaking While Driving 60 mph (Full Fix) - Ep.13

I currently have the same problem only because the mechanic that just replace my front struts. Which needed replacing struck both my outer tie rods with hammer accidentally bursting the boots. And now everytime I hit 60mph front shakes. Just ordered two outer tie rods. I had to like this video for his perseverance and hard work. Plus he is the most average and relatable Joe I ever seen work on a vehicle with regular tools. He is inspiring for it do evident like most of us he not a mechanic yet, fierce as can be to achieve his objective. Just going to need an alignment next.

I have a cj lancer that creeks and vibrates at the steering wheel. I to have changed rotors, bushes, suspension and no luck. But having watched your videos I'll need to change one more thing. If that doesn't fix it...I am at a loss! Great videos though, well done.

It works fine! :D But I agree. For balancing, I use tape measure to measure the gaps between the front wheels. The gaps are at the front of the wheels, and the back of the wheels. I measure right on one of the lines on the surface of the tires and also on the inside cheeks of the tires. I drive around and come back to measure and see if the gaps are the same. Then I adjust the tie rod if they aren't. I would do this for like 10 times.. just to make sure. Please explain your "correctly" way.

Good video, but i would have to suggest to first start simple. Start off with getting your wheels balanced and slowly make your way up to bigger and more expensive fixes. Could have saved a lot of money on not having to replace the rotors, drive axle and struts. You should think about spending money on a good torque wrench. Over torquing your wheels can cause the same issue. Good video though, enjoy them a lot!

Joshua Pavao Yes. Well, jack up your car (you can do each wheel at a time) and shake the wheel side to side. If it doesn't shake at all, that's good. If it shakes a little, it's still good. If it shakes a lot, look at the tie-rods (both inner and outer) see if they are bad. Do the same for the other side. PS. The main cause of all this is bad/unbalanced wheels. That's why you get the vibration that causes the tie-rods to go bad over the years. Even if you changed the tie-rods, you will still feel the vibration, BUT it eliminates about 95% of the vibration. To completely eliminate the vibration, you will need to get your wheels balanced or get a new set of rims and tires. cheers
